I wonder if that was all acting. If it wasn't, then Hermione may now be very hard to kill indeed.

This can only be a good thing.

Except by AK and fiendfyre, both of which come easily to Voldemort, and the former can be cast by many experienced fighters.

In canon (book 7, after looking for Ravenclaw’s diadem in the Room of Requirements) there is one example of Crabbe-or-Goyle (i.e. a below-average seventh year student) being able to cast fiendfyre. While he could be rather more well-versed than usual in dark spells, this presumably means that fiendfyre is not too hard to cast for experienced fighters, either.

Crabbe, if anybody cares.

You clearly haven't read some of the same manga as I have.

(Though I won't be more specific because, well, infohazard.)
